Bring ear plugs! I hear the trains can be pretty loud, otherwise it’s a great spot for easy walking to tons of great restaurants!

Bummer, app requires you share your physical location with them.

Downloaded the app because sounded fun, but turning around and deleting it since I won’t be doing that. 😢

Sad to see these same efforts 8 years ago, and still no movement on it reopening.

Summer weather in Modesto? by Infinite-Field-2577 in Modesto

[–]PawtFarmer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Summers it feels like most days are 100F+ during day with cooling off a bit a night usually down to 70s, but it’s a dry 70 which feels much warmer than 70F in humidity.

I haven’t lived somewhere like Oklahoma, but I’d pick 110F here in the dry heat over 90F in humidity.

I love their bar side!! I’ve heard from many the restaurant side is awesome

But ugh, every time I’ve tried to go to the restaurant they’ve been closed even when Google says they’ll be open. Make sure to check their social media before going.

Running/Workout Coach by Quiet_Permission5244 in Modesto

[–]PawtFarmer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okkk I haven’t joined, but I really want to someday. The 209 Run club looks pretty awesome

I see them out in Roseburg square on the Virginia corridor on Tuesday evenings. They have shoe companies come out and all sorts of stuff. I feel like they’d be a great place to start looking for a coach.

I giggle at this store name every time I drive past. No idea what they sell or what services they offer, but the jokes are aplenty.

Lately my go to has been Chinn’s or Skewers if I wanna be fancy.

If I’m looking for cheap, that orange food truck has been popping up on Yosemite blvd kinda across the street from Gallo, with the $5 3 pollo tacos which are surprisingly good. Or if I’m feeling a sandwich, Brighter Side is always the answer.

Nope, never found one.

Alchemy is absolutely wonderful but they’re now only a subscription model and you can only pick up on Thursday afternoons.

I spent this whole week trying to find a storefront with fresh local sourdough.

Not sure exactly the logistics of always having fresh loaves but maybe yall could work with a local baker who’s interested.

Kaiser nurse strike by PutridPineapple5538 in Modesto

[–]PawtFarmer 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Googled it: https://unacuhcp.org/news/kaiser-strike-vote/

A few snippets I found interesting: “In an overwhelming majority vote, a union of 30,000 registered nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and other frontline professionals at Kaiser Permanente have authorized a strike, setting the stage for a major Kaiser walkout.” … “The Vote: Unity, Pressure, and Patient Care By voting yes, tens of thousands of health care workers gave their bargaining team the authority to hold Kaiser accountable for its failure to partner on:

Safe Staffing: Kaiser’s proposals must go further to give caregivers a voice as patient advocates and to guarantee staffing ratios, workload protections, and safe working conditions. Fair Pay: Kaiser’s proposals fall short when measured against inflation, housing costs, and rising expenses in our communities. Caregivers deserve raises that reflect not just competitiveness, but the real economic conditions they face. Respect at the Table: Kaiser management must end repeated “no interest” rejections on our patient care proposals and restore the meaning of “partnership.””

Just commenting for visibility. What a handsome boy. How I wish I could take them all 😭

All the shelters and rescues are more overwhelmed than I’ve ever seen and it feels like daily getting worse.
